How do I find a place to live in Sai Kung?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Sai Kung involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget. This will help you narrow down your options and make your search more efficient. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Sai Kung. Some areas may be more residential, while others may be closer to shops and restaurants. Consider your lifestyle and preferences when choosing a neighborhood. Once you have a general idea of where you want to live, you can start looking for available properties. There are several online real estate platforms that you can use, such as 99.co, Squarefoot, and Spacious. These websites allow you to filter properties based on location, price, size, and other features. You can also hire a real estate agent to help you with your search. An agent can provide you with insider knowledge about the market, negotiate prices on your behalf, and handle paperwork. Make sure to choose an agent who is familiar with Sai Kung and has a good reputation. When you find a property that you're interested in, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to inspect the property in person and ask any questions you may have. If you're satisfied with the property, you can make an offer. In Hong Kong, it's common to negotiate the price, so don't be afraid to haggle. Once your offer is accepted, you'll need to sign a tenancy agreement and pay a deposit. The deposit is usually equivalent to two months' rent. Finally, before you move in, you should arrange for utilities to be connected, such as electricity, water, and internet. You may also need to arrange for a moving company to transport your belongings. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so be patient and don't rush the process," said one person in Sai Kung.
